Community Involvement

Wells participates in the communities in which our employees live. We also have a strong philosophy to participate in the charities and communities which our clients actively participate. We believe relationships extend beyond business.

Teaching future engineers, architects, and construction management about designing with Precast Concrete is a unique program funded by PCI Foundation. Precast Studios are collaborative education opportunities developed with leading universities with architectural and structural engineering programs.
Wells Concrete is affiliated with Minnesota State University, Mankato.

ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT WORK TOGETHER
The program kicked off in the fall of 2014 as a collaboration between the civil engineering and construction management programs at Minnesota State University, Mankato and Wells Concrete. This project has five primary objectives, which focus on civil engineering and construction management undergraduate students, and on practicing engineers in the southern Minnesota region:

To provide undergraduate civil engineering students with a working knowledge in the materials, methods, and design principles of prestressed and precast concrete

To teach undergraduate construction management students the unique attributes of precast concrete, and to facilitate their ability to assess constructability, schedules, and cost estimates

To introduce both civil engineering and construction management students to BIM so that each recognize its benefits, particularly when the BIM is shared between the engineer and contractor

To serve as a resource for continuing education of professionals in both basic and advanced topics of precast/prestressed concrete

To provide faculty and students the opportunities to engage in meaningful research especially beneficial to the precast industry

In addition to having several upper-level courses that support the program, the school offers continuing education seminars on inspection of precast/prestressed concrete structures and fundamentals of prestressed concrete. The program faculty works in close collaboration with industry partners from Wells Concrete and the PCI Midwest.

Donation:Operation Gratitude. We finished out the month of May 2016 collecting over $4,000 worth of items to donate to the troops for Operation Gratitude. Operation Gratitude is a group of volunteers that send Care Packages to Deployed Troops, their Children left behind, Veterans & Wounded Warrior

Pod Cast: Two of our employees participated in a pod cast about MN State Mankato Studio for PCI. You can listen to it HERE.
